sorry to hear about the bud rot. I have had it on every grow so far except the last one. Nothing drastic, but did have to throw some buds away. Might have been the high brix and teas the last grow that helped prevent it this time.

I'm not sure why these plants seem to take so long. Maybe they need more than 12 hours dark or something. I wish I knew.

you ever consider switching to a MH or HPS?
for a few more watts than you have now, a 400w MH is like 36,000 and HPS is 55,000 lumens

a 250w hps is 35,000, less watts and more lumens

Hi Hash Hound,
I have considered a HPS but don't think I would be able to handle the heat.
My grow space is so small, only 3 square feet and 5 feet tall.

Earlier you asked about NL seed brand and I want to clarify my answer.
My current grow is KC Brains....
My 20+ week adventure pictured above was Ministry of Cannabis.
Hope this one is indica dominant.

thanks for the info about the orange hairs, i only asked as i have 2 plants in flower the same age, the nl x bb was harvested the other day due to mostly cloudy and some trichs orange and wilted so harvested, but my kush seem a bit differernt, its special kush and it started to throw a few orange hairs but it seems they have all decided to go white again, not sure what to make of it, it seems to be getting fatter buds though now, ill keep checking the trichs as i think its the only way to tell
